Open Letter from Supporters of Aug. 26

WORD volunteers do a banner drop over a busy Los Angeles freeway, June 2.

The right wing is on the offensive in
the war on women's rights. Access to healthcare - including contraception and
abortion - childcare, housing, welfare and other benefits are being slashed
across the country. In 2011 alone, 26 different states enacted new anti-choice
laws.

Across the nation, women are tired of politicians playing political
football with our lives. It’s time we take action. It’s time we organize and
fight back.

On Women’s Equality Day, August 26 – the eve of the Republican National Convention in Tampa, Florida, which will be immediately followed by the Democratic National Convention in Charlotte, N.C. - women and their allies will take to the streets of Los Angeles, San Francisco, New York City, Chicago and other cities across the country in defense of women's rights.

Sign on now and be a part of this
historic movement! Thousands of women and men will be mobilizing to
stand up for women’s rights. We need your support: become an official endorser
and let others know that you support this mobilization. Make a donation, if you
can and help us spread the word! For more information, go to: DefendWomensRights.org.
